Los Angeles, December 11, 2024: Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam has dropped to No. 7 in the latest ICC Men’s T20I Batting Rankings, following a slump in his form. This fall comes after he equaled Virat Kohli’s undesirable feat of being dethroned from the top spot, a position Babar had held for a significant period.
Azam’s decline is partly due to increased competition, with Mohammad Rizwan recently surpassing him to become the No. 1 T20I batter. Rizwan’s consistent performances have propelled him ahead, leaving Babar to reassess his form and recovery. This shift has sparked discussions in the cricketing community about Babar’s struggles and his efforts to reclaim his top-tier position.
The drop in rankings highlights how rapidly the T20I landscape can change, where player consistency is key to maintaining a top spot. Fans and analysts are now closely watching Babar Azam’s upcoming performances to see if he can regain his previous momentum.
